Let's assume for a moment that could work. Would not that mean anybody in
the world would be able to access files on your PAD by just knowing it's IP?
Since devices don't have access rights it would not be very secure, right?
So, it does not work because it can't possibly work - devices don't even
have SMB servers and can't share out files this way. Some (not all) devices
have SMB client which can access file shares on desktop but that's it.
You'd have to copy database file from device to desktop, access/change it as
needed and copy it back. Or you need to write some sort if service which
would run on device accepting remote connections which would act as a proxy
between your desktop and SQL on device. Desktop side would talk to this
service instead of using SQL CE provider.
